Mighty Avengers #14: Jarvis and the Sentry

Jarvis cons his way into Stark's computer

The story for Mighty Avengers #14 is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how the Skrulls (Jarvis, Spider-Woman, Hank Pym, etc) are plotting against the Avengers.  Their biggest concern is the Sentry.  The Skrulls claims his power levels are off the charts and he is one of the few heroes who cannot be duplicated by the aliens.  This all comes together and ties back into Secret Invasion #2, where the 70s era Vision suddenly morphs into the Void as he confronts the Sentry.

I know a lot of people are tired of the Sentry's whining about the Void.  The Sentry actually cries in this issue when he sees the Void robbing a bank.  I am getting really tired of it, too.  I was hoping the Sentry would be Marvel's take on Superman, instead he's just a cry-baby.  I am actually rooting for Skrull-Jarvis.  Despite that, Bendis manages to pull a cool twist on the Sentry by the end of the issue. 

One other thing I hate: the Sentry's wife, Lindy.  She's a two-timing bitch and why is the Sentry so attached to her?  Just another reason why he's insane.  Nuff said.

Secret Invasion #1 variant pencils by Leinil Yu

I think Leinil Yu has been kicking ass on Secret Invasion.  Here are the pencils to his variant edition cover to issue #1.  Look at the awesome details on the facial expressions, the lighting, the chain mail on Captain America.

Here is the inked cover in full color.  I like the colored cover, but I love the pencilled cover.  .  Nuff said.

Galactus by Jim Cheung

Jim Cheung's artwork in New Avengers #40 blew me away.  I love this double page spread of Galactus destroying the Skrull homeworld.  It's on my Windows desktop now.  Click on the above image to download it from Flickr.

It doesn't hurt that fabulous Frankie Ray, Nova, is cruising through this shot.  I loved Nova, thought she was Galactus best choice for a herald.  According to Wikipedia, Nova was killed in Silver Surfer #75.  Since they are bringing back all kinds of dead characters, why not revive Nova?  Nuff said.
